Chicago crime: Anthony Evans charged with murder in 2-month-old boy Kayson Flowers' April death in Roseland, police say
A man has now been arrested and charged in the death of a two-month-old boy earlier this year, Chicago police said.
Anthony Evans, 23 of Chicago, is charged with murder in the death of baby Kayson Flowers, who died in April, police said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office says he died from multiple injuries, with signs of child abuse, ruling his death a homicide.
Chicago police said Evans was arrested earlier this week Monday, months after the boy's death, is now facing "One (1) felony count - Murder - Strong Probability Death/Injure."
"My son didn't deserve that. He was only 2 months, 2 months. He can't fight back," the baby's mother, Kayla Flowers, told ABC7 in May . "This is heartbreaking for me seeing my child in that condition."
Kayla said after Kayson was in the care of someone else for over a week, she picked him up on April 28. She says she was told he was asleep inside his car seat before leaving.
"Me, not thinking anything of it, because it was raining, I just took my baby to the house, because I didn't want my child to get sick. So, when I went in the house, I uncovered the stroller in the car seat, my baby was lifeless," Kayla said.
Kayson was pronounced dead at the hospital later that day, but the family says doctors told them he had likely already been dead for six to eight hours.
"I want justice for my son," Kayla said. "I'm not going to rest until I get justice."
No further information about Evans' arrest was immediately available.
